A press release, which hit the net earlier today (April 24), announced the names of the artists set to perform on the Festival Stage. Young M.A, A Boogie & Don Q, Lil Yachty, Casanova, and PHresher are among the artists listed.

Virginia rapper D.R.A.M., who will be joining Kendrick Lamar on The DAMN. Tour this summer, will grace the Festival Stage as well. For New York rhymer Dave East, this will serve as his second consecutive year on the Summer Jam Festival Stage.


The Festival Stage has historically hosted up-and-coming artists, including Chance The Rapper, Desiigner, and Tory Lanez.

Although the Stadium Stage lineup won’t be announced until tomorrow (April 25), Hot 97 personality Ebro Darden promised that Summer Jam attendees can expect some surprises.

“It’s all about the music and culture, and Summer Jam is the ultimate event to celebrate and appreciate Hip Hop,” Ebro said in a statement. “Make sure you get your tickets early though; we have a few tricks up our sleeves that you’ll just have to be in the house to know about!”

Twitter did as Twitter does, reacting to the reveal with both excitement and derision.
